(AP) - Burger King's Twitter followers got more than the usual sales promotions Monday.

It started Monday afternoon when a tweet reading, ``We just got sold to McDonald's!'' went out. That was followed by dozens more, some that included racial epithets and obscenities and one that read: ``if I catch you at a wendy's, we're fightin.''

Burger King blames hackers and say it asked Twitter to suspend the account after an hour or so.
